 '''Fāṭima (a)''' (Arabic: {{ia|فاطِمَة}}) commonly known as '''Fāṭima al-Zahrā (a)''' {{ia|فاطِمَة الزهراء}}) (b. 5 after Bi'tha/615 - d. [[11]]/632) was the daughter of the [[Prophet (s)]] of Islam (a) and [[Lady Khadija (a)]] and the wife of [[Imam Ali (a)]]. She is one of the [[Ashab al-Kisa'|People of the Cloak]] and, in [[Twelver Shias|Twelver Shiite]] belief, one of the [[Fourteen Infallibles]]. The [[Imam Hasan (a)|second]] and [[Imam Husain (a)|third]] Imams, as well as [[Lady Zaynab (a)]], were her children. Al-Zahra', [[al-Batul]], [[Sayyidat Nisa' al-'Alamin]] and [[Umm Abiha]] are among [[Titles of Lady Fatima (a)|her epithets]]. She was the only lady chosen by the Holy Prophet (a) to be part of the [[Mubahala]] with the Christians of [[Najran]].
-She was staunchly against the decisions made during the [[event of Saqifa]]; she regarded the [[caliphate]] of the [[first caliph]] as illegitimate and, therefore, never paid allegiance to him. In defense of the right of Imam Ali (a) to caliphate and objecting to the [[Usurpation of Fadak]], she delivered a speech that became famously known as the [[Fadakiyya sermon]]. After the demise of the Holy Prophet (s), Fatima (a) was injured when a group of the supporters of the first caliph, [[Abu Bakr]], attacked her home. As a result, she became very ill and, after a very short time, passed away on the [[Jumada II 3|3rd of Jumada II]], [[11]]/August 26, 632 in [[Medina]]. The blessed body of the Holy Prophet’s (a) daughter was, as she had requested, buried at night and in secret, and the location of her grave has remained unknown ever since.

After the demise of the Holy Prophet (s), Fatima (a) was injured when a group of zealots of the first caliph, [[Abu Bakr]], stormed her house. As a result of suffering from both physical and emotional wounds that had debilitated her body, she was advised to rest but after a very short time passed away on the [[Jumada II 3|3rd of Jumada II]], [[11]]/August 26, 632 in [[Medina]]. The blessed body of the Holy Prophet’s (a) daughter was, as she had requested, buried at night and in private. Since then the location of her grave has remained unknown.
 Some Qur'anic verses, such as [[al-Tathir Verse]] (the Purification Verse), [[al-Mawadda Verse]] (the Love Verse) and [[al-It'am Verse]] (the Feeding Verse), and many [[hadith|traditions]], such as "[[hadith of Bid'a|Fatima is a part of me]]", were revealed or stated in relation to Lady Fatima (a) and her virtues. According to some of these traditions, the Holy Prophet (s) introduced Lady Fatima (a) as the [[Sayyidat Nisa' al-'Alamin|most superior of the women of all Worlds]] and equated her anger with that of [[Allah]]. It was to her that the Holy Prophet (s) taught the [[dhikr]] (litany) that came to be known as the [[Tasbih of Lady Fatima (a)]].

 After the demise of the Prophet (s), an angel would visit her and talk to her. The sayings of the angel were recorded by Imam Ali (a) in a book called the [[Mushaf of Fatima (a)]], which is currently in the possession of the Final Imam, [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]].
-During the days surrounding the anniversary of Fatima's (a) martyrdom, known as the [[Fatimiyya]] Days, the Shi'a hold mourning ceremonies. Her birthday, which is on the [[Jumada II 20|20th of Jumada II]], is celebrated as Women's and Mother's Day in the [[Islamic Republic of Iran]].
